WELCOME BOYS, GIRLS, MOTHERS, FATHERS, PARENTS AND EVERYONE TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR 2021-2022.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT SUMMER AND HAVE RECHARGED YOUR BATTERIES FOR A SUPER LEARNING ADVENTURE. I AM EXCITED TO START THIS NEW  SCHOOL YEAR.

THIS YEAR, I WANT TO FOCUS ON INCREASING THE CHILDREN’S SPANISH VOCABULARY. THE CHILDREN WILL LEARN  NEW LETTERS  AND WORDS THAT BEGIN WITH THAT LETTER SOUND. WE WILL SING SONGS, READ SMALL PASSAGES AND PRACTICE WRITING AND CORRECTLY PRONOUNCING OUR  NEW WORDS. STUDENTS COULD EVEN BRING SOMETHING FROM HOME THAT STARTS  WITH THE LETTER SOUND WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT AND SHARE IT WITH THE CLASS.

“…Learning is an experience, everything else is just information…”

Mrs. Mejia

Hola!!! students and parents, I am sorry that i didn’t post any Spanish work last week but I was absent the entire week. I am back and I will post new Spanish material in the next couple of days.  Thanks for your support and understanding. We’re almost there 8 more weeks to go.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mejia

 

I hope everyone had a great Easter!!!

Week of April 12-23rd

Lower grades:  (K, 1st, 2nd & 3rd) we are going to learn about “Things around the Classroom”. We will also learn a couple of songs that go with the vocabulary of the lesson. In addition, we will continue with our Lecturitas, short readings follow with questions.

Upper grades: (4th, 5th and 6th) We will continue practicing the definite pronouns and start learning about indefinite pronouns. I am expecting that by the end of the quarter students could make short and long sentences.

Have a blessing day!!!

Mrs. Mejia

I hope that all my wonderful students had a great time during Spring Break and spent time with family and friends. 

Time flew and we are almost at the end of the 4th quarter.   This quarter, we will be learning about Classroom Objects, Family members and animals.

Espero que todos mis maravillosos estudiantes lo hayan pasado muy bien durante las vacaciones de primavera y hayan pasado tiempo con familiares y amigos.

El tiempo pasó volando y estamos casi al final del 4º trimestre. Este trimestre, aprenderemos sobre los objetos del salón de clases, los miembros de la familia y los animales.

HOLA A TODOS! I hope that my wonderful students and their families are doing great and ready to celebrate baby Jesus’s birth.  

I can’t believe that we are in December and almost done with the second quarter already. 

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and blessings to you and to your families. Please stay safe and give a lot of hugs to your family and friends. 

When we come back from Christmas  break, we will start working on “¿Qué tiempo hace?” – How is the weather?.

HOLA Ninos y Ninas, I hope you are well and happy to be back at school.   I am very happy and excited about this school year and all the new learning involved. I will try to keep Spanish as a fun as I can.

  Just to clarify things: Spanish classes will not hold Zoom meetings this quarter. This is new to all of us.

   So, for Virtual/At Home Learners, I will be posting worksheets, videos and assignments every other week on my Google Classroom site. The students can print the worksheet/assignment or take a picture of it, attach it  and send it back to me when completed. If there is not a written assignment, you may simply notify me that you did the activity. Let’s keep things as simple as possible!

I hope everyone had a nice and blessed Easter. I pray that all my wonderful Ninos y Ninas and their families are continuing to do well.

HOLA A TODOS.    HELLO TO EVERYONE.

BIENVENIDOS!   WELCOME TO DISTANCE  LEARNING

I hope that all my niños and niñas are doing well and keeping yourself safe and Felíz.

I will post vocabulary words for the lessons that we should be learning for this quarter. 

The vocabulary words will have the meaning in English and the pronunciation next to it.

Every two weeks, you will find a new lesson (vocabulary words, videos and activities related to the lesson)

Since, I can not say the words aloud to you, I will write the words in English and Spanish with pronunciation besides the words in that way you could try to say it and learn the pronunciation.

I suggest you keep a notebook (old one) or a diary that you can write down the words and definitions.

I will be available for you via email at mmejia@sta.school.
